Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the similarities and differences of chondrolaryngoplasty between female and transgender women.Methods:We enrolled 23 patients with chondrolaryngoplasty in Peking University Third Hospital from March 2016 to September 2019, with age from 18- 37 y/o (average at 26. 87±5. 54 y/o) ; employing eleven-point Likert scale to conduct an average 14mths follow-up. We assigned patients into female (n=11) and transgender women(n=12) groups, using SPSS 22. 0 tool to process and analyze data. Paired sample t test is conducted to compare pre- and postoperative differences, while independent sample t test is to compare between groups; p value less than 0. 05 is considered to have statistical significance.Results:Satisfaction with surgery is 95. 65% (22/23 patients) ; satisfaction with appearance of laryngeal prominence is 82. 61% (19/23 patients ). After operation, the Self-Estimate Laryngeal Prominence Score improves from 6. 57±2. 45 to 2. 22±2. 09; the Social Ability Restriction Score improves from 6. 30±3. 02 to 1. 52±2. 54; the Phycological Burden Score decrease from 7. 70±2. 44 to 1. 83±2. 62; all data have statistical significances ( P<0. 01). The improvement of previous two scores is greater in transgender women group with statistical significances ( P< 0. 05). Conclusions:Chondrolaryngoplasty can remarkably improve the appearance of laryngeal prominence of patients; Transgenders women can obtain better social and phycological improvement than female patients after chondrolaryngoplasty.
